Continuing a hugely successful year for Future Islands, today the band are both premiering their five-track 4AD Session and announcing extra shows in Boston, New York and Philadelphia due to demand.

Filmed in London and directed by Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard - the duo behind many a past 4AD Session and more recently, the acclaimed Nick Cave documentary 20,000 Days On Earth - Future Islands have enlisted a string quartet and brass section for their Session, performing five album cuts - 'Sun In The Morning', 'Doves', 'Seasons (Waiting On You)', 'Light House' and 'A Song For Our Grandfathers'. You can watch on the band's YouTube channel here or in the player below.

Having recently announced their biggest US headlining shows to date next January in New York (Terminal 5), Boston (Royale) and Philadelphia (Union Transfer), they are today adding extra shows at each venue after all three sold out in record time. Pre-sale fan tickets for each additional night starts today, while general on-sale starts on Friday at 10am local time.
